| Post subject: | Underground Coal Gasification Ban Lifted |
This has possible implications for Warwickshire: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/fears-over-underground-coal-gasification-in-warwickshire-reignited-after-government-reverses-ban-41338/ There's a coal seam under a big chunk of the county, which I never realised. Having done a quick bit of reading, there's potential for a lot of environmental damage - carbon dioxide/monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur, water conramination etc... Plus, there's subsidence (the West Midlands is a great example), and the questionable wisdom of settilg light to coal seams (towns in the USA have had to be abandoned due to coad fired burning out of control). |

I think there's an underground mine fire in Gateshead that has been burning for about 10 years. As a youngster, I remember local outbreaks around an area we knew as 'clod banks'. I personally think this is madness, but time will tell. |

Coventry's included in the UCG area too: https://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/coventry-could-be-used-for-fracking/ Like you, Rebbonk, I think this is a daft idea. |

That's an interesting graphic, Lex. I'm well out of the area, but it hasn't changed my view. |

The whole thing stinks of the new government's approach - panic & try to make a quick profit. |

I have a suspicion that Thick Lizzie (one of the more polite references to her) is going to have a very brief tenure. The Tory conference might be rather telling. - I see a few MPs have already said that they won't be attending. |

Yes, the media seems to be hinting at mumblings on the back benches. |

Rugby's MP looks to be in favour of this. I wonder if he's following the party line, or looking to make money out of it: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/mp-dismisses-anti-fracking-petition-as-irresponsible-scaremongering-41687/ |
